Description

Description

The codebase has a full command pattern system with undo/redo support (apps/web/src/lib/commands/), but there are NO visible undo/redo buttons in the editor header or timeline toolbar.

Current Behavior

Users must rely on keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z) with no visual indication of edit history.

Expected Behavior

Add undo/redo buttons to the editor-header.tsx or timeline-toolbar.tsx with:

  • Visual disabled state when history is empty
  • Tooltip showing shortcut (Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z)
  • Optional: dropdown showing recent actions

Files

  • apps/web/src/components/editor/editor-header.tsx
  • apps/web/src/components/editor/panels/timeline/timeline-toolbar.tsx
  • apps/web/src/lib/commands/ (existing command system)

Research direction

Start by reading apps/web/src/components/editor/editor-header.tsx and apps/web/src/components/editor/panels/timeline/timeline-toolbar.tsx, then inspect the existing command system in apps/web/src/lib/commands/. Add visible undo and redo controls with disabled empty-history states and shortcut tooltips; verify both editor locations and the optional recent-actions dropdown if implemented.
